About the Book:

Book 1 in the Wings of the Nightingale seriesLt.
Mellie Blake is looking forward to beginning her training as a flight
nurse. She is not looking forward to writing a letter to a man she’s
never met–even if it is anonymous and part of a morale-building program.
Lt. Tom MacGilliver, an officer stationed in North Africa, welcomes the
idea of an anonymous correspondence–he’s been trying to escape his
infamous name for years.As their letters crisscross the Atlantic,
Tom and Mellie develop a unique friendship despite not knowing the
other’s true identity. When both are transferred to Algeria, the two are
poised to meet face-to-face for the first time. Will they overcome
their fears and reveal who they are, or will their future be held
hostage by their pasts?Combining a flair for romance with excellent
research and attention to detail, Sarah Sundin vividly brings to life
the perilous challenges of WWII aviation, nursing–and true love.

Sarah
Sundin received the 2011 Writer of the Year Award from the Mount Hermon
Christian Writers Conference, and her second novel A Memory Between Us

are inspired by her great-uncle who flew with the U.S. Eighth Air Force
in England during World War II. Sarah lives in California with her
husband and three children. www.sarahsundin.com

My Thoughts: I loved Sarah's Wings of Glory series. I have to say that she's hit the ball out of the park With Every Letter. Sarah has created the best characters with Mellie and Tom, both misfits of their own making. Mellie thinks she could never attract a man, and Tom is afraid of his father's past. When they get paired as pen pals they begin to help each other overcome their own insecurities. Sarah creates great romantic tension between Tom and Mellie, Mellie is a flight nurse on the front lines, and Tom is in action running into each other is bound to happen right? You just don't know when, or how. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough!Don't miss this book!!!!

While this is the third and final book in the Freedom Series,
I’m sure there are people who are just learning about it. Would you
please share what prompted you to write these books on such topic as
relevant and difficult as human trafficking?

I was finishing up my previous fiction series for New Hope Publishers
(the Extreme Devotion Series, dealing with the persecuted Church around
the world) when Andrea Mullins (the publisher at New Hope) asked me
what topic I wanted to tackle next. We discussed a few possibilities,
and then she suggested human trafficking. I was aware of it and thought
it was terrible but had no idea how widespread it was. I agreed to do
some preliminary research and get back to her. When I discovered there
are more than 27 million people held in various forms of human
trafficking (sexual slavery, forced labor or military conscription,
involuntary donation of body parts/organs) and that many of them are
children (including an estimated 100,000—300,000 MINORS held in sexual
slavery in the US today!), I was horrified. I was also convinced that I
had to do everything possible to help educate others about this
widespread horror and to call them to join the fight. Not only have I
now written/released the Freedom Series on human trafficking, but I’m
speaking on it everywhere/every chance I get.

What was your original objective in writing these books, Deliver Me From Evil, Special Delivery, and The Deliverer? And, what are you hearing back from people who have read the books? How are they taking action?

Originally my plan was to see the books alert readers to this
horrific crime and, hopefully, challenge them to get involved in
fighting it some way. That seems to be happening, but on such a larger
scope than I had imagined. The response from readers is overwhelming!
Pastors have written to say they are challenging their entire church to
get involved on some level, and I’m being invited to speak all over the
country on this topic. I am thrilled to see the Light being shined in
this terrible darkness at last! As for specific actions, pastors and
civic leaders are inviting me (or others in this ministry) to come and
speak to their congregations/groups to help educate them on this massive
tragedy. Readers tell me they are posting about my books all over the
net to help snag people’s attention. I’m getting invitations to speak on
radio and TV as well. I’ve also been contacted by readers who are
getting involved in setting up safe houses for rescued victims, which is
a huge need. I was even contacted by the Department of Homeland
Security and invited to participate in group conference calls on the
topic. Overall, I’m thrilled at the way God is using these books to help
sound the alarm and to “rescue the perishing.”

It seems there is always someone in your books who is an intercessor. Why is that important for you to include?

This is vital to me, and as you said, I almost always include an
intercessor in my novels. I know there were intercessors in my own life
who prayed me through some incredibly dangerous and difficult times, and
I appreciate those heroes of the faith more than I can express.
Highlighting their importance in my books accomplishes two things: it
enables me to honor those faithful intercessors who often get no
recognition in this world, and it also calls others to get involved in
intercession as well.

You write books as you often call them, parables with a
purpose, on topics such as human trafficking, the persecuted church,
illegal immigration, and your Christmas 2012 book is about homelessness.
Some might call you an advocate. Why is it important for Christians,
and the church as a whole, to discuss these issues?

You’re right that I call my novels “parables with purpose,” because I
believe Jesus is our example and that’s what He told to His
followers—parables with purpose. He didn’t just tell them “nice stories”
to entertain them. He told stories that would grab them right where
they lived, and then challenge them to change their hearts, their minds,
and their lives. The Church has always been at the forefront of serious
social change, leading the charge to abolish slavery for instance, and
leading the charge on these other issues is right where the Church needs
to be now. The first step is to discuss the issues, to make people
aware of them, and then to call them to action. I believe gripping
fiction is one of the most effective ways to do that.

Will you give us a glimpse, a taste of things to come —
without getting too far ahead — of what’s in store for your next series
and books on the horizon?

In addition to the 2012 Christmas novel, Unexpected Christmas Hero,
dealing with homelessness in America, I will be releasing a new series
starting in January. The first of the three novels is called The Moses Quilt,
and it deals with a contemporary interracial romance, set against the
background of a quilt that tells the story of the courageous,
faith-filled woman known as Harriet Tubman. A contemporary novel dealing
with the issue of abortion will follow, with the first woman doctor in
America, Elizabeth Blackwell, as our backdrop heroine. The final book
will be built around the much beloved Fanny Crosby, as we deal with the
issue of people with disabilities. That series is from New Hope
Publishers, but I also have a book releasing in the Spring of 2013 from
B&H Publishers called Last Chance for Justice. It’s part of the multi-author Bloomfield Series, and I’m very excited about it.

You also write a devotional blog. Can you tell us what the focus is and where we can find it?

I started writing a weekly devotional several years ago, in response
to a request from the then newly formed group CAN (Christian Authors
Network). I sent it out as a group email and had about 40 recipients
then. The devotional mailing quickly grew and expanded beyond the CAN
group, with countless readers signing up to receive it. I also started
posting it each week on my devotional blog (http://kathimacias.com/category/devotional-2/), which is part of my primary website (www.kathimacias.com),
where you will also find my “Easy Writer” blog, which is more
writing-related. (You can also sign up there to receive the weekly
devotional in your inbox.) Over the years the devotional has been picked
up by Crosswalk, Black Christian News, Latino Christian News (I offer
it in Spanish as well as English), Believe.com, Christians in Recovery,
etc., so the readership has mushroomed beyond anything I ever imagined.
God is amazing, isn’t He?

Finally, we know you as an award-winning author, but you also
enjoy speaking for women’s events, and other groups, as well. On what
areas or topics do you focus your speaking presentations? How can a
church or group find out more about having you speak for their event?

My Thoughts:These are powerful books! Never would I have thought that human trafficking was going on in America. Kathi has done a great job writing this series. My hat is off to her for bringing this to light and showing it in an amazing way!
